We consider the emergent practice of including clauses in corporate certificates of incorporation or bylaws that specify an exclusive judicial forum for lawsuits.

On the other hand, petitioner, who is of Filipino-Chinese descent, is dominant, controlling, and demands absolute obedience from his wife and children. He forbade private respondent to pray, and deliberately isolated her from her friends.

When she took up law, and even when she was already working part time at a law office, petitioner trivialized her ambitions and prevailed upon her to just stay at home.

He was often jealous of the fact that his attractive wife still catches the eye of some men, at one point threatening that he would have any man eyeing her killed.

Since then, private respondent has been undergoing therapy almost every week and is taking anti-depressant medications.

He then packed his things and told private respondent that he was leaving her for good.

Petitioner had previously warned her that if she goes on a legal battle with him, she would not get a single centavo. In contrast to the absolute control of petitioner over said corporations, private respondent merely draws a monthly salary of P20, Household expenses amounting to not less than P, Until the filing of the petition a quo, petitioner has not given private respondent an accounting of the businesses the value of which she had helped raise to millions of pesos.
